holiday Season 2016

December 17, 2016

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays Everyone!

Finishing up my shopping but this rain and ice making for rough go of it today. My children are grown, my mom passed several years ago – family spread out all over so the holidays take on a new meaning for me.

This year I am beginning a new tradition of adopting a few families in need over the holiday season and taking on job as ELF in trainingand trying my best to help Santa fulfill their Christmas List. What better way to feel the spirit of Christmas, right? I know it sounds cliche but I really am getting so much more out of this than I can put into words. God has blessed me so much that I just want to give. Give back, give my time, give my help, just GIVE of myself.

However while doing my “elf duties” feeling like this calls for a fantastic RED LIP & some festive clothes. Get me more in the mood. So take a minute to smile more, pause and admire all the lights & decor and to tell those near and dear how much you love them.

Below is just a little vignette I created on Polyvore (love you Poly)! That makes me smile. Crazy for +Kevyn Aucoin lip pencils, lipsticks and glosses – +NYX Professional Makeup has some great products too on the cheap people – “FO REAL”! So bundle up today my friends – throw on a perfect smile, grab a loved one, get some hot cocoa and have a great weekend!
